when your kiddo calls his mama first when something happens that is life changing, emotional and amazing? Kudos to you! You’ve done something right. That said, the beginning of your post made me catch my breath...because I’m a mom too and there’s nothing scarier than letting them fly on their own. Good work mama...I’m so glad your boy and his friend are okay.
